This rule detects the behavioral pattern of the dYdX RAT, which executes Python scripts from temporary directories with suppressed output. It looks for Python processes (identified by original filename) executing from common temporary directories while also suppressing output (e.g., redirecting to /dev/null or using CREATE_NO_WINDOW).

This rule detects the presence of environment variables used to control the malicious SANDWORM_MODE payload in CI environments or on local systems. The presence of these variables in a process command line is a strong indicator of an active infection or a workflow being manipulated by the malware's control logic.

Detects Windows PE files that contain string indicators associated with the Diaoyu loader as reported in the Shadow Campaigns research. The rule keys on multiple distinctive strings, including references to WordPress themed artefacts, a GitHub raw content host, and Diaoyu specific markers, and requires an MZ header plus either two or more indicators or specific high confidence string pairs.

This rule detects Python processes that are executed with command-line arguments indicative of silent execution or output redirection to null devices, combined with execution from a temporary directory. This pattern was observed in the dYdX PyPI package compromise, where a RAT ran undetected using these techniques.

Detects when the BeyondTrust remote support client process ('bomgar-scc.exe' or 'bomgar-scc') spawns a shell or a common reconnaissance/downloader tool. This behavior is a strong indicator of post-exploitation activity related to vulnerabilities like CVE-2026-1731, where an attacker gains code execution and begins to explore the compromised system.

0021
Identifies the loading of a Linux kernel module from a suspicious, non-standard directory such as /tmp, /dev/shm, /var/tmp, or a user's local hidden directory. Attackers often deploy rootkits and other kernel-level malware from these locations to evade detection and gain persistence. This technique is a prerequisite for kernel-level bypasses like those used by the 'Singularity' rootkit.

This detection identifies network connections from non-browser processes to known Large Language Model (LLM) API endpoints. While some connections may be legitimate developer or application traffic, unexpected processes connecting to these services could indicate unauthorized data exfiltration, corporate espionage, or misuse of AI services.

This detection identifies suspicious command-line pipelines commonly used in "ClickFix" attacks. It specifically searches for the use of 'curl' or 'wget' to download a payload that is immediately executed via a shell, often hidden within a subshell `$(...)` or piped directly to an interpreter. This "download and execute" pattern is a high-fidelity indicator of a successful ClickFix lure, where a user has been tricked into running a malicious command.
